Especially tears of the kingdom.

If you want tears of the kingdom it is cheaper to buy the "old version" second hand OR new and get the $10 upgrade. Please don't be buying this

You are correct and I'm wrong. But right now you can get it on sale for around $50 at Walmart.

I thought Nintendo games never went on sale? 🤯

Assuming you are serious, this is a bit of exaggeration, but when compared to other games, you can say that. Their digital games go for about 30% sale at max, but that is also very rare. Though some games have more sales than others.

Physical on the other hands have different amount of sales, depending on retailers.

This is only for their first party games though, third party games regularly go on sale, and generally have similar (but not always same) pricing as other consoles.

It's almost like the entire narrative is just bad faith tribalism.
